Stacie Webb hasn’t learned that it’s not polite to point. Ta-dah!!! A beautiful new accomplishment! Noel Bollaert and Denise Chamberlain take time out for a chuckle. Chris Kaminski laughs at David Baldinger as David hammers his thumb to the bridge. Creativity prevailing as usual, the entire park is planned as a game. Mother Nature provides the playing board; students and citizens are the moving pieces. For each warm-up exercise one earns five points, yielding a maximum of fifteen points on the conditioning and five points for the cool-down. A perfect score is 125 for beginners and families, 200 points for runners in training, and 275 points for advanced runners. Activating the appropriate pulse rate is given a 25 point reward: for running one mile, 15 additional points is awarded. Memorial Park was the brainchild of 1982’s Advanced Speech class. Unlike many good ideas which fall by the wayside, students and administra- tion alike followed through on this one, going one step further to create a unity with the city park board in taking on the project as a joint venture. The summer of 1984 saw the teams landscape and sod a beautiful and constantly utilized soccer field. Since then has come the path construction, landscaping, and bridge construction. A total of $6000.00 has been expended for the weight training equipment alone. Memorial Park has indeed become a tribute not just to SSHS students who have departed this earth, but also to those students who have contributed their creativity, time, and energy making this fantasy a reality. 23
